I know its early but we are a third of the way through the season, so I have been thinking about who we need and what position we should look at early. I am thinking with our first few picks we need to go Saftey, DE, LB, RB and maybe even WR. We have the extra second from Oakland still and it should be early. What and who do you think we should get?

I'm more than comfortable with Anthony Collins filling in at RT if A Smith leaves. I would sign a vet OT backup though in FA to fill his spot.

In terms of need LB is priority #1. After that I would say RB. Two positions that you generally don't want to draft in the first round though. Maybe go BPA in the first and then go LB and RB in the 2nd with our 2 picks in that round..._________________

I also kind of think we may need to get another CB early if David Emerson or Johnathan Banks were some how available I dont know if we could pass them up? I said last year that the CBs are finally starting to evolve like all the other positions did years ago. These 5'11 6'0 CBs wont cut it against this new breed of WR like Green and Calvin and Julio and Stephen Hill, the list is getting longer too, now guys who used to be considered safteys in high school and college because they where big and fast are starting to be developed as CBs and we are gonna need one on our team.

We have one. He just needs to get onto the field. two wouldn't hurt, but other needs are more glaring.

Personally, I'd go RB or DE in the first (unless Te'o was there). There is great depth at DE, so unless MJ93 left, I'd lean towards a guy like Lattimore in the first, then grab the DE at the top of 2 and the LB later in two.

D-Line - Depends on re-signing MJ93. If he gets away it's an early need. If he gets re-signed, I'm content, even if we lose Geathers. Possible draft need

MLB - I believe either Rey steps up and keeps the job, or Burfict moves to MLB next year. We also have Muck who is solid depth. No draft need. (I'm probably the only one who feels that way).

OLB - Early need. Lawson has regressed, and Howard is coming off a serious injury. I would consider this a first 2 picks need. Dontay Moch could change that, but I'm not holding my breath.

CB - I see this as an early need. None of our CBs can run with Wallace or Torey Smith. And I'm not entirely convinced Dre is a man CB. Hall is a solid #2 when at full strength. But if we could get a great CB in 1, I'd jump on that.

I'm more than comfortable with Anthony Collins filling in at RT if A Smith leaves. I would sign a vet OT backup though in FA to fill his spot.

Can't argue with LB as a big need, but R1 for me right now is DE. We all saw how poor our defence was with Dunlap missing, hopefully we let Geathers walk and he will need replacing, MJ93 is a free agent too, and the Giants have shown me time and time again that you just can't have enough good pass rushers.

Having said all that, I wouldn't be too upset if we gave LSU safety Eric Reid a long hard look if he's he's still there @ #32 _________________" Democracy is a system where two idiots can out-vote a genius..........."

Yup, agree. That big MIA corner Sean Smith did a good job consecutive weeks v Larry Fitz and AJ Green, and if you want a big CB in this draft have a look at Xavier Rhodes from Florida State....6'2'' 217..... mmmmm

In fact looking at a couple of early draft boards, the top 4 CB propsects are all at least 6'1'', Dee Milliner, Jonathan Banks, David Amerson and Xavier Rhodes, Some big dudes this year....._________________" Democracy is a system where two idiots can out-vote a genius..........."
